Application Guidelines

5 Tips for Successfully Submitting a Job Application on Local Eye Site

Before uploading your resume, be sure to check for spelling and grammatical errors. Overlooking minor details can reflect poorly on your application.

Tailor your cover letter to address the position you’re applying for. Using a standard cover letter template can convey a lack of interest to an employer.

Save your resume in a format that will protect the text and layout of the document, such as a PDF. This will prevent your formatted resume from showing up differently when opened by the recipient.

Unless specifically requested, avoid attaching distracting peripherals like headshots and award certificates to your application. They aren’t necessary, and can sometimes be perceived as unprofessional.

Be sure to allow time for the hiring manager to review your application before following up with them. A general follow-up timeframe is about 7-10 business days, after which a simple email will generally suffice.
